A local energy supply system with a grid transfer point has been granted a patent (Publication Number: US12003104B2). The system includes a first transmission line for electrical energy transmission to consumers, a second transmission line for energy storage connection, and a coupling device with switches and coupling elements. A central control unit manages the system's normal and backup operating modes by controlling disconnectors and switches, activating the coupling element when needed.

The system can incorporate energy stores, particularly from renewable sources, and includes features like grounding apparatus, phase connecting apparatus, and diesel generator connection. The method for operating the system involves measuring grid parameters, transmitting data to the central control unit, and controlling disconnectors and switches based on these parameters. The system ensures safety functions even in the event of central control unit failure through electromechanical interlocks in the disconnectors and switches, providing a reliable local energy supply solution.
